India has undergone rapid development over the past decades, meaning that it has a key role to play in global challenges like the fight against climate change. The country has enjoyed long-term relations with TU Dresden and Germany as a whole, particularly in the area of science and technology. On March 9, the Ambassador of the Republic of India to Germany, Harish Parvathaneni, and Dr. Madhusudan Reddy Nandineni, Counselor (Science & Technology), paid a visit to TU Dresden. They sat down with TU Dresden’s Rector Prof. Ursula M. Staudinger and other university representatives to discuss the existing and future collaboration.
